In 1991, Camarillo's softball team won CIF against Buena to mark the first ever championship for the program.

The school hosts the Camarillo Classic, a well known early season, two-day invitational track-and-field event, every March.[2][3][4] It attracts dozens of teams from all over Southern California.[5] The Distance Classic portion of the event has attracted notable athletes such as Jordan Hasay, Duane Solomon and Christine Babcock to come and produce record-breaking performances at the Camarillo Classic. In 2007, when Hasay ran her meet record 10:04.07 3200 meters, both standing national record holders in the event, Kim Mortensen and Jeff Nelson were in attendance.[6]

A group of students from Camarillo High School received national attention due to them being told to remove patrioticbandannas and to not chant "USA, USA".[7] The chanting, and wearing of the patriotic bandannas occurred during a basketball game against Rio Mesa High School, which lead to their ejection from the game, and suspension from school.[8] Principal Glenn Lipman said that the instruction to remove the bandannas was a precaution, due to concerns regarding diversity, with Oxnard Union High School District Superintendent Dr. Gabe Soumakian saying that the U-S-A chant had "racist overtones".[9]Latinos make up 67% of Rio Mesa High and 37% of Camarillo High; the group said that they were not intending to be offensive.[10]
